Resumo: We need volunteers to be interested in the projects they're applying to and to be aware that they are based on manual work
and collective life and that they are in isolated rural areas, far from cities.
We will only accept one volunteer of a nationality per project and we will try to have as many men and women.

The dates are not flexible.

Perfil: Our will is to allow each host volunteer to develop competences but also to transmit his knowledge to others.
One of the main values is the recognition of each individual within a group, in order that he can develop himself on the personal level in the respect and the consideration of the other. Our will is to build a collective project that is to show that with cultural differences of each others we can live together and do something constructive. It participates to the promotion of tolerance and respect values of human beings beyond all political and ideological differences.

Tarefas: The activities organized with the volunteers are mainly workcamps and activities of local development around artistic projects. A lot of the organised activities take place at La Maison des Bateleurs but some are also organised in Montendre, in the neighbouring towns or with others associations.

During the permanence in France and with the support of the other volunteers and the supervising team, the volunteer is involved in :
" animation of the hosting and meeting centre whose main thematic are intercultural exchange, citizenship and environment;
" participation in animation and local development of the region by working in cooperation with local authority and structures of animation and education (leisure centre, youth clubs, highschools…);
" supporting the projects of the municipalities or organisations, especially in the frame of the international workcamps.
" Mobilization and hosting persons in situation of difficulty in their social and professional inclusion steps

Saturdays and Sundays will be dedicated to the discovery of the region, French culture and occasionally to host some groups and/or cultural events.

Condições: The hosting team insures the working environment of the host volunteers through the installation of security precaution. Our project use the tool of workcamp, that is why it is even more important for us to explain security norms to the volunteer.
We also explain to the volunteer before and at his arrival the importance of collective life in our project. We favours as much as we can his well-being within the host centre and we are always ready to listen to his needs.
The associative project allows a collective and democratic approach of the decisions, that means that once a week we hold a "house meeting" with all the inhabitants of the place and the staff in order to discuss and exchange point of view and feeling of each person of the group. This time of sharing allow to defuse conflicts that could have been generated by lack of communication.
Once a month the tutors hold a interview with the volunteer to evaluate his volunteering and the ongoing projects as well as a follow-up of his personal project. This interview can be hold more often if there is a need and for disadvantaged young person.
The communication that we established in between the members of the project is for us an essential element to apprehend the crisis.
La Maison des Bateleurs put in place a support system during the working time but also during the activities and free time, above all if the volunteer is minor. A person is referent of the host volunteer and is in charge to secure him essentially when it is a minor.

Formação: The host volunteer comes with the will to share a collective life (preparation of the meal, washing up the dishes, cleaning of the house…) but also to do workcamps with the objective to train himself like to learn manual techniques, a foreign language, as well as a will to take responsibilities at different levels and to explore creative and artistic activities… The volunteer takes part in the development of associative project.
Moreover the volunteer gets the opportunity if he is willing to, to develop a personal project which fits in the context and the collective project of the organisation. It is important for him to evaluate his interests, his objectives, his limits as well as what he still needs to accomplish to reach his goals. This approach is a recurrent tool of our philosophy aiming to concretely build peace through responsibilization and supporting the independence for an active citizenship.

The rhythm of a month includes technical acquisitions on renovation projects (masonry, carpentry, woodwork…) or on educational projects about sustainable development (organic garden, green building, etc.). The participation or the development of various activities such as French courses, artistic, musical workshops according to the propositions and the competences of each of the inhabitant of the hosting centre and of people who intervenes in it.
